It is the peculiar property of the Church that when she is buffeted she is triumphant, when she is assaulted with argument she proves herself in the right, when she is deserted by her supporters she holds the field. It is her wish that all men should remain at her side and in her bosom; if it lay with her, none would become unworthy to abide under the shelter of that august mother, none would be cast out or suffered to depart from her calm retreat. But when heretics desert her or she expels them, the loss she endures, in that she cannot save them, is compensated by an increased assurance that she alone can offer bliss.
–St. Hilary of Poitiers, On the Trinity, 7, 4 (via twocrowns)
“I was laying trying to rest like you said. But all I could do was imagine things to do for you.”
— Ernest Hemingway, from The Nick Adams Stories; “The Last Good Country,” (via lesgardenias)
Our so-called liberal and progressive educators who denied the reality of guilt, did not, as they promised, relieve man from the shackles of ‘medieval morality’, but they did relieve the person of his responsibility and therefore of his freedom.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen, For God and Country (via catherine-of-alexandria)
A beautiful gesture of acceptance and love…💞
A girl with Down syndrome, got up during a regular papal service, and went toward the Pope. The security men quickly moved in to take her back to her mother. The Pope stopped everyone and said to the girl, “come sit next to me.” The girl then sat down near him and the Holy Father continued to preach the homily while holding hands with the little girl.
